In September 2023, Rhode Island Humanities Board of Directors approved the organization’s new strategic plan By and For All Rhode Islanders: Rhode Island Humanities Strategic Plan 2023 – 2026 and accompanying Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Action Plan.
Both guiding documents represent years of work by the RI Humanities staff and board and are now available on the website at: rihumanities.org/about/strategic-plan-deia-action-plan/.
Special thanks to the Strategic Planning Committee which met 2019 – 2022 and offered important advice, feedback, and perspectives.
